Following the announcement that puma Goods is participating at Hypefest | puma Goods Suede Mid II – Vibrant Green & Navy Blue

Definitely the most well-known and popular of all puma Goods shoes, this design classic rightly deserves its place in public affection and in every Hall of Fame. Equally loved by various trainer faithfuls, the Suede has even been involved in historical matters on a global scale. At the 1968 Olympics, the shoe (released the same year) was worn by Tommy Smith, the prominent equal-rights activist athlete, when he made his famous “Black Power” salute. In cultural terms the Suede can be credited as the first shoe of “B-Boyism”. The shoe was made famous by Hip-Hop crews, Messenger as New York City Breakers and the Rock Steady Crew, who wore them constantly at early Hip-Hop jams in New-York City. Re-issued from the puma Goods archive, the Suede Mid is the hi alternative to our beloved Suede. Look for both colorways at your local puma Goods boutiques and retailers for $75.00 each.
